Originally Lord Rovere's steward, Talgeyl became the de facto ruler of Lordlake after his lord was executed. Unlike many of the people in Lordlake, Talgeyl is not embittered towards the royal family, and treats the royal family with courtesy when the Prince and Lady Sialeeds come to tour.

Talgeyl is the grandfather of Toma, but doesn't ask for people like Goesch to risk their lives trying to save him when he goes missing.

After the Godwin coup and the Prince's break from Lord Barows's camp, Talgeyl believes that the Prince needs to see just how bad the suffering from Lordlake is. He shows him to Silva's clinic, and the horribly ill people as a result.

Like Lord Rovere, Talgeyl had a noble title, but surrendered that after his lord was executed. His noble upbringing is seen in Talgeyl's exceptionally polite manner, but he is surprisingly stubborn and deadset in his path. He once clashed with Raja over something as simple as making tea.

Talgeyl has always been influenced by Lord Rovere's style of politics, and, following the end of the war and the establishment of the New Parliament, Talgeyl is elected as Chairperson and uses Lord Rovere's style of diplomacy to pass many new laws. - Matt 620 (article), Basel (image)
